MetaStock 8 RT vs. TradeStation 6

Just wondering which software, MetaStock 8 RT or TradeStation 6 people prefer and what the main differences, advantages or disadvantages are. Just looking for some feedback from people that have used both or one or the other extensively. I've used TC2000 and it's okay but my yearly subscription is almost up and I'm looking for something a little more sophisticated. Thanks.

I've used MS Real-Time programs for >10 years, and not thinking of changing. Simple and intuitive to operate, great charts and chart management, reliable, and support has been excellent.

However, I'm mostly a chart player + a few of the simple indicators. I've never delved into MetaStock's more sophisticated studies... (Oh, I fiddled with them years back... only to conclude that most are not worth 2 dead flies!. I don't bother any more)

Thanks for your replies everyone. (Took you all long enough - Ha ) I was thinking, from other things I've read, that these were some of the realities of these two programs. Does TS 6 have 1 minute intraday data going back 2 years?
PS I know about Ensign software too and will check out AmiBroker. Thanks.
